Take the mountainous route from Karachi to Kathmandu with Legendary Asia, the first new map to hit the Ticket to Ride digital platforms in 7 years! The Legendary Asia map is available now in several different flavors – as an in-app purchase on Ticket to Ride iPad; from Valve®’s Steam® platform for PC and Mac; and our own browser-based Web Version.

First released as an expansion for the physical board game last Christmas, the Asia map collection proved immensely popular, selling out almost immediately. The digital version of Legendary Asia features:

Mountain Routes, which consume additional trains from the players’ reserves but score bonus points and speed the game’s ending

A Mongolian Horse marker that indicates how many turns have been played in this game

A Blinking Cities marker that indicates how many cities are connected together via the player’s largest route network – the key to winning a 10-point Asia Explorer bonus

Along with the Legendary Asia map, the latest release of Ticket to Ride iPad also brings a host of new (free) features, including: Full iOS Retina display implementation for all out-game UI elements; 3 new map-specific bots – PoirBot, EscherBot and KwaiBot for Europe, Swiss and Legendary Asia respectively; and a whopping 45 new achievements including 15 for the standard US map and another 15 for Europe, Swiss and new Legendary Asia.

Ticket to Ride for Steam users also have one additional thing to look for: With today’s release of a Mac version of Ticket to Ride for Steam, Ticket to Ride is now enabled as a Steam Play game. Customers who purchased a Steam version for their PC can now also play at no additional cost on their Mac (and vice-versa).

Ticket to Ride Legendary Asia is available now as an in-game purchase within Ticket to Ride for iPad and on Ticket to Ride Steam for $3.99/€2.99, and as an additional map for the Ticket to Ride Web Version. To purchase these digital versions of Ticket to Ride click one of the links below:

Second the vote for the Mac App store option. I have Steam on my desktop and I see I have been given keys so I could make the switch but I’d definitely like to know that all of my in-game purchases have moved over (I bought all of the maps on the app store version), and in general I do prefer the app store experience.

That said, if you are consolidating on Steam then kudos for at least giving us product keys so we don’t have to re-purchase.

All of your in-game purchases from the Mac App Store version will transfer to the Steam version, i.e. you will receive Steam Keys for all the Maps you purchased on the Mac App Store version. Simply make sure to follow the instructions to retrieve your keys:

The old downloadable version that was available in the past on our web site (I assume this is the version you are referring to) has been deprecated; it won’t see new maps. This being said, if you purchased Asia web, contact our tech support and we will do what we need to provide you with a Steam key for that DLC.

Excellent update, thanks! I got addicted to the achievement hunting and reached them all except the three biggest playcount ones and the connect 22 cities in Asia map. I’ve managed to connect enough cities and I’ve done this as fast as possible (almost empty hand after it). I’ve even had a few matching tickets to boot. But I always have less points than the opponent, since I’ve had to concentrate on getting the exact routes, which make the feat even possible with the amount of trains given. This bugs me greatly… Must get back to trying. I hope you have done the math and know this to be possible without an AI glitch – Otherwise I’ll be a nervous wreck within a week! 🙂
